The Liberty County Sheriff's Office is searching for a Dayton man accused of shooting another man five times in a dispute over a woman early Saturday. <\/p>\n
Police said Marshal Gerald Coffin, whose age was not released, confronted Victor Robert Pereida about 6:15 a.m. at the south Liberty County home that Pereida shares with a woman. <\/p>\n
Witnesses told police that Coffin was in a relationship with the woman and confronted Pereida about his relationship with the same woman, according to officials. <\/p>\n
Investigators said Coffin then shot Pereida four times in the torso and once in the leg with a .380 caliber semi-automatic pistol and fled. <\/p>\n
